Freightliner Trucks is now offering twin-steer chassis prep kits for its 114SD and 122SD truck models. The prep kits will serve to quickly facilitate aftermarket conversions and installation of second steer axle and heavy-duty suspensions, resulting in faster delivery to the customer.

Freightliner has partnered with Simard Suspensions of Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, to offer the turnkey solution ideal for heavy-duty applications such as crane, dump, wrecker, mixing, and logging to provide a comfortable and reliable ride. Severe-duty twin-steer chassis provides a stable platform for increased truck efficiency and performance.

“To provide a simplified transition from factory to conversion, we developed a cost-effective and timely process that still allows for customization,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner. “We are responding to our customers’ needs by providing a streamlined solution that will get them on the job as fast as possible.”
